Why does it show 25GB total memory instead of 32GB?

I was looking at my tablet today and saw that the total memory is 25Gb instead of 32GB. I know that about 5-7Gb is used for the operating system so is that why it doesn't show 32GB? Just wondering. I was just thinking maybe it was showing the full capacity of the HD at 25Gb which would mean it was 7GB short.

I believe the recovery partition is 7GB in size.

You could create a USB recovery disk if you want and then remove the on-board one to get the 7GB back.
